Why Did a Genin's Record Read Like a Wanted Criminal's?
Kabuto Yakushi raised his head and glanced at Sasuke Uchiha opposite him, his eyes filled with a conflicted look and a strange, indescribable feeling.
He brought the conversation back on track.
"Wu Chiwu, from Sweet Ninja Village."
"Mission Log: Completed D-rank 5 times, C-rank 6 times."
"It doesn't sound that special."
Naruto scratched the back of his head.
He had previously thought that Mr. Bandage must be some kind of incredibly powerful ninja.
This resume doesn't match the image of Mr. Bandage at all.
Hearing Kabuto Yakushi Naruto his hand and lowered his voice to continue.
However, it is rumored that he once served as a sidekick in an A-level mission and became...
"They kidnapped the princess of the Land of Waterfalls."
He was even wanted by several countries, and the arrest warrants were only recently removed.
"The more detailed information couldn't be found."
ah?
What the heck?
A-level mission?
Kidnapping a princess?
Wanted by multiple countries?
Who is this person?
But these words don't sound like they're praising anyone at all.
The group of people all Wu Chiwu, who was still chewing on the Three-Color Dango.
This man was completely absorbed in eating, exuding laziness, and showed no sign of having committed those ruthless acts.
Suddenly, Wu Chiwu exuded an inexplicable and mysterious aura.
Even those seemingly insignificant little gestures seem to have ulterior motives.
Who exactly is this person?
Did you really get involved in so many life-threatening jobs?
But how could a Genin like him possibly reach it?
Besides, the arrest warrant has been withdrawn, so how can he just swagger over to take the exam like this? Is everything really alright?
Everyone present was filled with questions, their eyes fixed on Wu Chiwu.
Sasuke waited for the answer, and after hearing what Kabuto Yakushi had to say, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.
These can't be fake, right?
With my second brother's strength, how could he only be at this level?
Being wanted by several countries and abducting a princess—this sounds exactly like something my second brother would do.
Where has he been all these years?
Sasuke's mind was in turmoil.
Sakura had already heard these things, so there wasn't a hint of surprise on her face.
Instead, she gave me a look that said, "See, what did I tell you?"
It seems Kakashi-sensei wasn't lying; those people were indeed dangerous.
"No, that can't be, right?"
Naruto was even stuttering a little when he spoke.
His blue eyes widened in shock.
Although he felt that the task records he had previously kept were too plain and did not match the temperament of Mr. Bandage.
But I never imagined Mr. Bandage would do something so big.
"Senior, you've got it wrong. He's just a Genin, how could he do something like that?"
Naruto asked everyone the questions that were on their minds.
Even the most skilled Genin can only manage a B-Rank Mission at best, like Gaara.
A-level missions are ridiculous.
Even just doing odd jobs is terrifying enough.
Kabuto Yakushi ignored the group's questions.
Having been a spy for so many years, he knows perfectly well that mission rank is not directly related to ability.
Whether it's gathering intelligence or cooperating with others, there's a lot more to it than meets the eye.
It's not unacceptable for a low -Genin to work as an assistant, but this kind of job requires a lot of courage.
However, he didn't show any coldness on his face; he just continued speaking with a conflicted expression.
"What I'm going to talk about next is this Sweet Ninja Village."
"The village is called Sweet Ninja Village, but that doesn't mean it's actually that sweet."
"That place specifically takes in wandering ninjas, gathering them up to bolster their own prestige."
"Most of the ninjas in the village are capable of anything to achieve their goals."
"So the person you're talking about, I'm afraid..."
He stopped talking, letting the rest of his words float in the air.
This pause, ironically, made the events that had been laid out earlier seem even more real, and also made everyone more uneasy.
All eyes immediately turned to Wu Chiwu.
Who exactly is this guy?
Can you handle A-level missions and escape wanted by various countries?
Still holed up in that filthy ninja village?
Even if their strength is mediocre, they are definitely not someone to be trifled with.
Shikamaru, standing nearby, squinted, warily observing Wu Chiwu.
This Chunin Ninja Exams really brought together all Gyuki.
There are all kinds of people.
Fortunately, his skills weren't outstanding; otherwise, he would have been in real trouble if he had run into such a dangerous character.
Genin- ranking ninja) can accomplish these things, they're probably doing intelligence work.
Or they're the kind of people who specialize in cleaning up messes and finishing up tasks.
Combatants are unlikely.
It's absurd to think of a Genin getting involved in an A-rank battle.
Shikamaru rested his chin on his hand, deep in thought.
In just a short while, everyone present became wary.
Gaara, whose strength and achievements speak for themselves, this kind of person, who is clearly not strong enough but still manages to get involved in a bunch of big events, makes people even more suspicious.
How did he do that?
This kind of stuff is too dangerous.
However, now that all their secrets have been exposed, they probably won't be able to cause much trouble.
The crowd's gaze shifted from Wu Chiwu to the two silent ninjas beside him.
A long time passed.
Everyone silently moved away from Wu Chiwu and his two companions.
It's best to stay away from such dangerous individuals.
"Sasuke and Naruto, they're definitely up to no good by coming over here."
Sakura reminded him in a low voice.
"We need to be more careful."
But what's the point of them going through all this trouble?
"No way."
A hint of dejection flashed in Naruto's eyes.
Mr. Bandage shouldn't be this kind of person, right?
Is there a mistake?
Sasuke's expression twisted upon hearing Sakura's words.
He's the "special reason" Sakura was talking about.
My second brother made this trip just to see him.
But this matter absolutely cannot be told to anyone.
Telling my second brother might cause trouble.
"Are we being treated like the bad guys?"
Hozuki Kagetsu leaned closer to the two and whispered something.
Wu Chiwu nodded, his face remaining completely still.
Those Azure eyes remained completely unmoved.
This was probably a trick played by Kabuto Yakushi on purpose.
This method was used to prevent them from getting too close to Naruto.
Afraid they'd ruin Orochimaru's plans?
Is it really necessary to be this cautious?
Judging from their apparent strength, they shouldn't be able to hinder Orochimaru's plan at all, but he still went to the trouble of doing so just to ensure everything went smoothly.
Wu Chiwu chewed on the Three-Color Dango, pondering to himself.
